Salvatore, given the increase in bug reports that this feature generates,
I think it would be sensible to unset AMD_MEM_ENCRYPT_ACTIVE_BY_DEFAULT until
those incompatibilities are fixed, like I proposed in [1]. One would have to
use the "mem_encrypt=on" command line option to enable the AMD Secure Memory
Encryption. If it sounds reasonable to you and the rest of the kernel team,
I can send a merge request.

Cheers,
Vincent
